I always wanted to play guitar and write songs. I pestered my Mum and Dad into buying me a guitar for Christmas when I was 4 or 5 years old. Apparently the guitar didn't last too long because I broke it over the head of my grandad as he sat there laughing at my pitiful attempts to do an Elvis impersonation in front of the family. The first songs I learned were Beatle tunes and their style has a major influence on my music. hic.
